    About Kathryn

    Kathryn Lawrence is a licensed clinical social worker who uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find motivation for change. She holds LCSW and LISW credentials and brings many years of clinical experience to sessions. Her manner is straightforward and respectful, and she focuses on what clients want to accomplish in therapy.

    She helps people who are dealing with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, bipolar mood concerns, and panic. She also supports those facing compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, and major life changes. Communication problems, social anxiety, and personality-related difficulties are part of her regular caseload.

    Kathryn draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy alongside Motivational Interviewing. In practice that means she listens closely, helps clients sort out patterns of thinking and behavior, and collaborates on realistic steps they can try between sessions. The focus is on workable strategies rather than theory-heavy explanations.

    She has practiced for 15 years and works with adults presenting a variety of mood and neurodevelopmental concerns, including autism spectrum experiences and intellectual disability when relevant to the person. Her background includes supporting caregivers and people coping with persistent stress.

    People who choose her can expect a calm, goal-focused process. Kathryn aims to help clients build resilience, improve communication, and handle everyday challenges with clearer tools and practical options.

  2. How her approaches fit in online therapy

    Motivational Interviewing is a brief, conversational method that helps people clarify their reasons for change and build commitment to next steps. It works well for goals like improving self-care, reducing risky patterns, or finding momentum when feeling stuck.

    Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while choosing actions that match a person's values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions.

    Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kathryn will listen to what matters to the client, discuss different methods, and help decide which approach or mix of approaches fits their goals and preferences. The plan can be adjusted as work progresses.

    The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can help fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time, making it easier to schedule brief check-ins, and allowing work around school or job hours. It can also let people choose sessions that match their comfort with being on camera or using audio only.
